Buffalo and Rochester suing gun makers
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown and Rochester Mayor Malik Evans announced today that they will be suing gun manufactures under the new law the state legislature passed this session A-6762B/S-7196 allowing such suits to proceed based upon a public nuisance provision.

We may be in an recession, but the FY2023 New York City budget contains a $120,000 allocation for New Yorkers Against Gun Violence though the Crisis Management System, a big increase from $65,000 in FY2022.

More gun control coming from Albany
Not surprised by this at all:
“Gov. Kathy Hochul plans to propose “a very comprehensive” plan to staunch the tide of illegal guns into New York, she signaled on Monday ahead of her State of the State address in the coming weeks … The governor did not give specifics on her plan, but does plan on expanding resources for the State Police as well as leaning on an existing multi-state task force that started earlier in the year to tackle the issue of illegal firearms …”
